okay, so explain this to me, I need a boot loader like mklinux Booter or BootX and I need the kernel that this bootloader boots ( MachKernel -..... or vmlinux)
and beyond that I will still need a compatible CD? >From my understanding, the bootloader boots off the Extensions folder on the MAC OS, okay so is the bootloader going to completely blow the OS away, and can I do this safely and still be able to run the bootloader later (i.e. What happens when it blows away MAC OS and the extensions folder, and the installation fails, how do I get back to the extensions folder) Also, if someone else is up for a puzzle, I don't know where to get MAC OS 8.6 installation CD's (I bought this computer at a surplus sale, and I have no CD's for it) Puzzle #2: my etherlink toggle works on a crossover cable directly to another PC but does not work attached to my company's network hub (It is really annoying having to plug a network cable into the linux computer, download the binaries, set up an ftpserver, plug in a crossover cable and download them to the mac) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marc Stergionis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Debian List" <debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org> Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 1:56 PM Subject: Re: PowerMac 7100/80 won't boot > At about 12:50 PM -0700 on 1/13/03, Marc Stergionis wrote: > >At about 1:08 PM -0500 on 1/13/03, Allan Streib wrote: > >>Don't know.
